Sliding closet door solution

I have a closet opening of 108", bottom track and it has three doors but only two tracks, so there is no configuration of the doors where I can have the right and left sides of the closet fully open at the same time.

So I'm looking for a solution: 1) either I can add a single bottom track along the full width of the opening so each of the three doors can pass each other/overlap each other; or 2) I can replace the double track I have with a triple track along the full width of the opening.

So, can you help me with either a 108" single bottom track or a 108" triple bottom track? I'm looking at the 23-240+ style track in the satin nickel finish.

Thanks for posting! We may be able to help with this, yes. What kind of doors do you have now? Are they wood, mirror, or metal? Also, do you have a top track now? Finally, I'd like to see a few pictures of your existing tracks and roller hardware just to get a good idea of what we're working with.

The existing doors are mirrored with a small frame (not decorative) and there is a top "channel" but it seems to only serve to guide the doors; it doesn't carry any weight, only the bottom track has the weight and the rollers. It appears from the pictures of your 23-240, 241, 242, 243 that it is the same style bottom track.

Unfortunately, we do not have any triple-rail track systems. The only thing we can recommend is using two dual-rail tracks side-by-side, and simply ignoring the fourth rail.

You are going to need a top rail also.
You will need a surface to attach the second top track.
If this is on the ceiling it might work with anchors, but I'd bet there isn't a header up there.
Just some things to think about.
